Department of Homeland Security Seeks Public Comment on Ammonium Nitrate Security Program

Announces Nationwide Listening Sessions to Educate Public on Proposed Rule

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking public comment on the proposed rule for Ammonium Nitrate Security Program and has scheduled several listening sessions to brief the public on the basics of the proposed rule and inform them how they can provide comments.

The Ammonium Nitrate Security Program is a proposed regulation developed by the DHS in response to direction from Congress to “regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate by an ammonium nitrate facility...to prevent the misappropriation or use of ammonium nitrate in an act of terrorism.”
